This is a very true account and as you will see it contains more that one Miracle.

On a very rainy evening complete with lightening back at the end of April 2012, My wife came home late afternoon after work and it was not raining to badly at that time she asked me, would you like to go down to adoration at the chapel/church today? Adoration for a Roman Catholic is when the Holy consecrated  Eucharist is put into a monstrance to hold it and protect it. The monstrance is then placed on the alter of the church or chapel, my parish has both. It  allows us to sit in the presence of our Lord. The priest or deacon will normally handle it. We as congregants would not touch it, I certainly do not feel worthy to.

This is a picture of a monstrance, in the center of monstrance the Priest or Roman Catholic Deacon would place the consercrated Euchrist in the center it is protected by glass.

In our Roman Cathoilic tradition and faith in adoration we believe that Christ is present with us, and he is.. It is a beautiful gift to us as believers.

The chapel is very relaxing and generally you can hear a pin drop, a very, very peaceful place.

Fr. Leo Clifford The Blessed Sacrament

Very well done.

Well, my response to my wife was, I don’t know. I was in the midst of treatment , I was tired, did not care about food etc. My wife was trying to get me to eat something . She is a very good cook but nothing appealed to me. By this time the whole family was sitting there with their appetites waiting and my wife said we have a gift certificate that was given to us for the 99 restaurant. But, I said that I did not feel like going out. They do pick up orders as well she said 🙂 So, she asked my daughter to go pick up the food and she said sure. Next, I took about 20 minutes staring at the menu again looking for something that would possibly appeal to me. Finally, I selected the country chicken with brocolli and garlic mashed potatos 🙂 My daughter drove over to pick it up I was sitting here waiting to strap the feed bag on . LOL   It arrived home here and One bite later, it was someone’s left overs. lol.,My poor wife. You see, the meds for my cancer treatments made everything taste like 100% salt to me. Don’t worry, I survived and lived to eat another day:) That dinner now tastes good once again too, so way to go 99! and yeah, no more meds!

One very stange thing that I told my Dr. R was my wife was so desperate to get me to eat that she stopped one evening and bought Chinese Food for dinner, a mixture of stuff and came home and said, I have a surprise for you! I said no thanks,( She calls me a brat for good reason) So funny! The smell made my stomach feel a little sick after a while she coaxed me into the kitchen and made me a plate.  I ate the whole thing, with lots of mustard sauce. My food was so spicy and it hot! Not usually my choice in foods but as I told my Dr on more than one occasion that It was so hot that my whole head was tingling and nose ran. But the sensation did not scare or bother me. The salt in the food did not bother me either.  It was like I was drawn to it and loved the food.Very Strange. Everyone is always telling me some foods are healing by their natural properties which, I do believe. God created a masterpiece in nature and we added chemicals etc. The doctor kind of chucked but I said, I know it sounds weird but I think that it acted in aiding my body to fight the cancer, I may be wrong. But twice over a lengthy period of time I felt compelled to announce this to my doctor. So who knows? Here is the information on the hot mustard sauce, I guess you can decide if it has any medicinal purposes on your own.

The following is off the web.

What makes hot mustard hot? Readers frequently ask this question. I can understand their confusion. After all, the recipe for hot mustard is quite simple: dry mustard, cold water, perhaps some rice wine. What is it about this seemingly simple preparation that gives China’s most popular table condiment its strong bite?

The answer lies in the chemical properties of mustard seeds. Mustard seeds come from the mustard plant, a member of the cabbage family. They contain two sulphur compounds, myrosin and sinigrin, as well as an enzyme, myrosinase. When the seeds are broken and water is added, the enzyme breaks down the sulphur compounds. The result is the sharp tasting oil that gives mustard its pungency, and helps explain why the name mustard comes from the Latin words mustum (much) and ardens (burning).

So anyway, back to that night, it was now thundering and pouring out. It was around 8:00 at night and the phone rang. It was my friend from NY the deacon once again checking out how everything in Danny’s world was going. 🙂

We spoke, I hung up and said, I want to go to the chapel. My wife said Dan, it is so late it was about 8:15 p.m. I said I have to go, she oh, alright. Remember my wife left for work at 6 am in the morning and was still serving me. She started down the stairs she in front of me carrying my walker, and heard the rain outside and said , Dan, this is crazy. It is pouring buckets and thundering out there. I responded I need to go again. So  she relented, sighing. Down we drove to the church  in horizontal rain. We pulled up in the handicapped spot, there were plenty of cars in the church lot. My wife said, lets wait until it slows down a bit. And, I just said J take the umbrella for yourself I don’t care about the rain as I got out of the car. She came around the car and got my walker out of the rear of the car and was covering me with her umbrella. She is an amazing wife, I said no, cover youself honey, I am fine, it is healing rain, I love it. So we crossed the parking lot through huge puddles of water. When we stepped into the chapel there were a lot of people there for Adoration,to our Lord. They were reciteing the Rosary etc. Just resting in the Lord. very Beautiful.

People saw us come in and it was like the parting of the sea, a very beautiful gesture, a couple of the older parishoners got up to give myself and my wife two rocking chairs next to one another towards the back of the chapel and took seats elsewhere in the chapel.

You see Miracle # 1  of this account was set to take place. I did not know why I had to go in that moment to the Chapel , or why my wife had brought it up that day but, God did.

So, my wife and I were sitting in our rocking chairs, I was focusing on the body of Christ exposed on the alter in the monstrance. It was so peaceful. My eyes were closed listening for God and I heard the word Holy. I remember being at such peace. I opened my eyes and heard Holy once again. My head turned slightly to the right looking ahead of me and there was a person sitting off to the right of me about I guess 4-5 feet away.  Again, I received the word Holy. I began to pray and was trying to figure out the words to a prayer that I felt I should say  and suddenly my wife without a word passed me a prayer card she had and had  been useing herself and It was the prayer that I was silently attempting to think of and recall. 1 card after another the same story, came from her hand. It was breathe taking for me to see my wife praying these prayers on the these prayer cards and passing them to me. She had no idea what she was doing in conjunction with Heaven. She looked to me and saw that something was happening my face I am sure was in awh. I just leaned to my wifes ear and said unbelievable. God uses us all to help one another and my wife is by far my greatest God given gift.  We were there at the church and it was now 10 pm the church bells were sounding and the rain was pounding the roof of the chapel. I tapped my wife on the knee as said are you ready ? She said yes, So, I stood up and my wife passed me my walker. As I began, to move the man that God had told be was Holy popped out of the rocker in front of me and now was face to face with me. My wife  and  I knew F. from an Arise meeting at my church and he is a very nice person. This was our exact exchange while standing in the chapel.

He was talking at a whisper being in the chapel but when its quiet everyone hears everything crystal clear. Plus I have a voice like a fog horn it is a strong voice. Lol  There are times that when I am in the confessional  Father has to quiet my voice a little bit, I think the old ladies outside the confessional were dropping like flies. lol  Sorry, I could not help myself. 🙂

I am sure God wanted everyone in the chapel to witness his presence in that moment through us. You know psalm #139, He new we all  would be here in this moment by his will. Amen.

F said,

Dan, I felt called by God a few weeks ago to get this medallion. I have been in prayer on my knee’s asking for Gods guidance he said, this is for you. It is the face of Christ.He put it over my neck and gave my wife the papers that came with it. I said no F, I cannot accept this. And, In that very moment my wife and F can attest that  the Holy Spirit took over and out of my mouth came, thank you F, you will get it back when Dan is healed. With that he hugged me prayed a prayer for healing over me, hugged my wife and we said God Bless You. We still marvel at this event. That is a Miracle in itself.

When the Holy Spirit speaks whether verbally or through writing  He speaks declarations to us and there  is authority to it, there is a sted fast resolve to get it right for God. The Holy Spirit through us gives life to God’s words to one another. Through testimony and witnessing. Everyone of us does it if we are in Christ Jesus. THe Holy Spirit is not wishy washy. He brings only good and only the truth. It is very simple.

At this time I was in my 6 week radiation schedule, it ended around 6-16-2012. So this event that I will detail took place at around the end of May /the beginning of June. I went  into the radiation room as I did so many times for treatment they swiped my card and loaded my radation therapy program into the computer like they did everyday. I always took off my cross and anything medal for my wife and brothers to hold before treatment. it was always done without fail.

The attendants rolled me in my wheelchair up to the treatment bed and I got on with their assistance . They were a wonderful group of people.They made me comfortable and strapped my body down to prevent my body from moving accidently. They snapped the mask that was made to tarket the cancer for treatment to the table tightly,so again, I could not move my head by accident. They exited the chamber and said as they did okay Dan , see you in a few. I thanked them all as usual. The machines started in an auto sequence with my treatment. This machine was just doing a ballet around my head the full circumference shooting radiation into the center of my brain to get this in operable brain tumor. Suddenly, I said awh OOOOOOO, to myself. I realiized that the cross was around my neck still as was the face of Christ Medal. It sounds crazy but I stayed calm and in prayer, I knew God had it. No matter what ! I still feel that way ! I did not create the universe, he did.  Meanwhile, my wife was outside the vault with my brother and said S, did you get Dannys cross? S said no. They jumped up and ran to the desk to inform them. They said do not worry, his radiation is above the neck so its okay.

Meanwhile back in the Vault as I call it, The treatment only took a few moments and I had my prayers down to the second, I was praying fast and with such fervor, for everyone that needed prayers, giving my stored graces in Heaven to God for others who may need them etc. Thats what I was called to do then and I am still a prayer warrior for God that is my current. job and responsibility.

Well back to the  the night before for a second. sorry, I was praying for hours and was finally going to bed.I had shut off the light and was getting out of my chair. I noticed this folded white paper. I thought ,what is this? I opened it up and it was the paperwork given by F in the chapel to my wife, the night that I was given the face of Christ medal. I turned the light back on and sat down. It is from the Holy Face society. I read about what it means it origin and and the protection it gives the wearer. They medals wear extremely popular during World War Two.

Another thing, I would like to say right now as the Holy Spirit is guiding me. A number of years ago, I had an employee a wonderful worker, and a christian man and a good family man. For some reason he would come against me from time to time and say you know, you do not have to wear a cross. I said, I know that T but I am conforted by it . It is a reminder of what God and Jesus did for me. That was it. he would badger me from time to time. I  will say this, no peice of medal, wood etc has magic powers. What they serve as is a reminder for the wearer of an event that happened a sacrafice beyond our true comprehension. The face of Christ that I was wearing for instance that was given to me was prayed with to God, was given to me in the chapel for a reason I might add, I then prayed with it and it found its way around my neck and was there for my radiation treatment, it had never happen before that metal was ever in that room with me. It is the prayers of that beautiful man F, my prayers and the faith that God gave me that the following account could ever be possible in my life.

The next Miracle….

I was getting ready to complete my treatment, the medal was around my neck I knew the machines by the way they were moving that I was almost done( the machines mades  like a robot sound as it spins turns and swivels around my head. It was always amazing to listen to.( relaxing ) God inspired so much through the Holy Spirit to some very beautiful scientists.  So,  I was wrapping up my prayers to Heaven, as God as my witness, All of a sudden in my head I heard Face Of Christ Protect Me. And, There was a huge flash so bright with my eyes shut and mask on that my head lit up inside I just remember white light I said thats not good to myself. The staff came back and said okay Dan your all set, I did not say one word to them getting off the table , I just said thank you and God bless you as I always did. You see I was seeing my radiology oncolgist next. God had me in such a peaceful place. He was in charge! No hesteria it was like breathing , no big deal. So, I came out and my wife said Dan, you have your medals on, I said, I know. She said , we got so nervous and told the secretary and she said no worry they are below the neck. We had always been instructed to remove them and I had. We rolled out of the radiology suite and started down to the doctors appointment my wife said Dan are you all right? Your face is all red. I said yah, the machine screwed up and I can’t see out of my left eye. My wife and brother were like what !? I said its okay, my left eye was a very soothing white whirlpool type of vision. I said I will talk to the Dr. We waited in the waiting room my wife fed me a yogurt because I have 1 hand to use, so it made it easier for me. she was calm considering the circumstances but not thrilled obviously. Meanwhile,I was sitting and facing the television and eating the yogurt and I said hey to my wife, somethings happening with my eye, it seems to be clearing. She said really? I said yes.  My brother S went up to the desk and said my brother Dan has an appointment with the Dr. The secretary  said, let me check and and my brother said he does, it was canceled yesterday on him so they changed it to today instead. She responded oh yes, we will bring you in to the office shortly. We were brought into the room and by that time my eye was back to normal.  The Dr. A came in with his head assistant they were both awesome.My wife, brother and myself were there and the doctor asked me how I was and the Holy Spirit spoke directly to him, Dan was just blinded in his radiation treatment, he looked shocked, his mouth literally fell open, they both did as a matter of fact. The doctor panned over in disbelief at what he was hearing to my brother and my wife and they said it is true. Again, their eyes were fiiled with concern and were watery, I said that I can see now  I would say that it was about 25 minutes before it cleared from when the machine malfunctioned.

They excused themselves and ran out of the room right away.I was sure they went to the radiology lab to check the machine and the event that had occurred.  I will continue this tomorrow.

God Bless You,

Danny
